Carnivorous plants can give years of enjoyment if one follows important tips for their growth.

Place the plant in the sunniest spot available. As long as the plants have enough water available, even the brightest sunlight is welcome.

Do not allow the soil to dry out. Also, do not water over the plant instead; place the plant in a tray of water.

Place the plant in a wide tray with ample water. The larger the pot or tray, the longer the plant will take to dry out.

It is recommended to use rainwater or soft tap water for watering. Plants are not able to handle water with high calcium content.

Never fertilise plants.

Transplant the carnivores every other year into a rough peat. The best time to transplant is in the spring.

Remove dead, brown leaves and pitchers to avoid developing fungus.

In the wintertime give the plant as little water as possible so that the soil remains only moderately moist.
